Subject: [PATCH] Fixed bug: barriers cannot be active during sweep

Barriers cannot be active during sweep, even in generational mode.
(Although gen. mode is not incremental, it can hit a barrier when
deleting a thread and closing its upvalues.)  The colors of objects are
being changed during sweep and, therefore, cannot be trusted.

Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/lua/lua/commit/a6da1472c0c5e05ff249325f979531ad51533110]
CVE: CVE-2020-24371

[Adjust code KGC_INC -> KGC_NORMAL, refer 69371c4b84becac09c445aae01d005b49658ef82]
